Notice - Buying Li-ion cells from FastTech; SGP temporarily unavailable

Mine were despatched on 4th :stuck_out_tongue:

I think this is how I will order future cells, in small quantities.

How did you tell them to put the batteries in the box?

I tried doing this myself, and couldn’t find anywhere in the ordering process to leave any instructions.

Go to fasttech and click “your orders”, you can manage everything there. By the way, in such cases as you quoted, they said they will automaticly put the batteries into the device.

I wonder is that is actually all or all for air freight? I would like them to open an over land delivery system. Old school but will avoid many of the dangers of transporting via air. May take a month but better than than none?

I didn’t tell them anything. They’re aware of what the situation is at the moment. The Chinese have been dealing with these bureaucratic logjams for ages. I’ll leave it to their ingenuity to keep me supplied with fresh ells.

How many ells, and of what?! the suspense is killing me! :wink:

I meant eels.

I’ve just had my second consecutive order for 4 Pana PDs cancelled and refunded after being returned by Singapore Post. :frowning:

So this last sh is real and no1 accepts liions anymore?

How quickly are they being returned after ordering and shipping?

I ordered just them with batteries :

https://www.fasttech.com/p/1243102

Extension Tube For WF-900 / TR-1200 / TR-500
Black / SKU: 1243102

It’s $6 more with BLF code to pair of ncr’s.

How annoying!! :frowning: Can you use HKP instead?

I was wondering because my shipment of a Sipik SK68 with 2x 14500 was en route.
Ordered Oct 1.
Shipped Oct 4.
Arrived in the states Oct TODAY!

Edit: USPS Priority FC (5-8 days).

The last order was placed Oct 1 but not shipped until Oct 10 because of their holiday. FT told me last night, (Oct 10) that they had received them back from SP. Seems like very fast turnaround. I’ve already received my PP refund.

It seems that FT prefers SP over HKP for battery shipments. I suppose I could ask them to use HKP, but I would think they know which one has the best chance of success, based on the number of returned packages they’re getting from each postal service.

How strange, I ordered 4-18650s and a 4-cell battery charger/pack from FT, gave them the option of how to send, and they used HKP!

I don’t see why they would use SP when they have that announcement on their site stating that SP is refusing all Liion batteries… At least it is a fast turnaround though.

I had two orders in before the holidays. They sent the “non battery” by SingPost and the “battery” package by ChinaPost. The batteries were returned to FT. My latest four battery orders were sent HKPost.

did you obtain a driver that runs on electric eel power?
